    mod for receive audio to come out of PA speaker. (RCI/Galaxy)

    OK, worked on a Connex 3300HP that had no PA or Echo. the problem was in the echo board, and I replaced it. Now PA works. and echo works, but he does not use that. But........ this guy claims that while he is outside of his truck, in PA mode, he can get radio calls also in the PA speaker on...

    Tested a portable elevated "V" today

    a few years ago, on 17 meters, there was a guy that vacationed down in Jamaica and he had an antenna set up like that, right on the beach several feet off the sand. I would talk to him during his Winter vacation down there. And also there was a guy that would go to a park near Phoenix AZ and...

    Swing mod for 2995 and related surface-mount pcb radios.

    ha ha ha. ha ha. when I first started working on these radios a few years ago. I would get a radio working, and adjust the AMC and ALC, remove the "NPC" mod, etc. then after I give the working radio back to the owner, they would take it to "the other guy" to make their radio a "splatter...

    this is funny. "Golden Screwdriver Techs" are warned.

    . it would be nice if you could get them schematics from that guy. if he is still currently walking on planet Earth.

    Stryker SR-497HPC V2 schematic and tech info

    I got this from Stryker Radios. The info on the latest version, with the five MOSFETS in the RF amp. One MOSFET driving four MOSFETs with a cute little fan blowing on them. I repaired one of these radios recently, but did not have all this info yet. I had 25 watts carrier, with modulation...

    this is funny. "Golden Screwdriver Techs" are warned.

    Yes! it's alive! found that a resistor and transistor driving the power supply main pass transistor to be burned out. pass transistor is still good. it looks like this supply circuit is and about the same as in the Cherokee CBS-1000. I powered the radio with an external 13.8 VDC supply...

    this is funny. "Golden Screwdriver Techs" are warned.

    hey, I have a cute little Radio Shack TRC-495 base to get working. so far there is 25 VDC on the 13.7 VDC line. hopefully just the regulator pass transistor, and nothing else is blown up. I have been trying all over to find the schematic to this radio. I found that it is almost the same as a...

    Stryker SR-497HPC - bad on/off switch. schematic?

    OK, my first Stryker to touch, feel, and repair... It was dead. would not power up. Did a quick internet search to save time. found that some of these radios had a burned-up board trace. others had a bad on/off switch. I quickly found the on/off switch to be bad. So I soldered a piece...

    Don't Understand Domestic Contest Stations Operating In The Extra Portions

    I just don't understand them contests, on the weekends, hogging up the bands with "CQ Contest, Contest" then the pause and "contest" "you're 5 by 9" but if you are DX then you are "5 by 9 plus" what a waste! sometimes I will answer a "contester" and talk real slowly and tell them about my...

    backward swing

    soon this thread will be going onto "page 3" and not getting anywhere.....

    backward swing

    . it does seem like it! as already asked, we need to know what driver radio is being used, and into what amp. inquiring minds want to know!

    RCI-2990, Help Please.

    . it looks like you are trying to solve the problem of distorted SSB signals, when they are strong. ? ? ?

    Palomar Elite 400 500 600 bias circuit! what bias?

    OK on that info about these amps. I have an update also. - I connected an old Teaberry tube 3 watt output radio to this amp. I had the power supply to this amp current limited to a few amps, for this quick test. I could key-up this amp, relay comes on, but no RF out, it did not draw much...

    Palomar 225 w/2 MRF 455's

    took a look over that schematic diagram. but the bias circuit on this diagram is messed up. at relay RLY1 - 14,15,16 just a drawing mistake. ? and that feedback through the 27pF capacitor from the amplifier output. hmmm! so will pull the board out, and do some continuity tests. so the...
